Revelation 10

1 Buna ndimona mbasi yinkaka yi lulendo yiba ku diyilu; yikuluka; yivuata matuti, mbumba-luangu yiba va ntuꞌandi; zizi kiandi kilezama banga thangu ayi malu mandi maba banga makunzi ma mbazu.

Then I saw another strong angel coming down from Heaven. He was robed in a cloud, and over his head was the rainbow. His face was like the sun, and his feet resembled pillars of fire.

2 Wusimba buku yi fioti mu koko kuandi; buku beni yiba yizibuka. Wutula kulu kuandi ku lubakala va mbu ayi kulu ku lumoso va ntoto.

In his hand he held a small scroll unrolled; and, planting his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,

3 Wuyamikina mu mbembo yingolo banga khosi yinkunga. Bu kayamikina, buna tsambuadi di bidumu biwakikisa zimbembo ziawu.

he cried out in a loud voice which resembled the roar of a lion. And when he had cried out, each of the seven peals of thunder uttered its own message.

4 Tsambuadi di bidumu bu biduma buna ndiedi kasonika vayi ndiwa mbembo yiba ku diyilu, yituba: “Sueka mambu matubidi tsambudi di bidumu; kadi ku masonika”.

And when the seven peals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write down what they had said; but I heard a voice from Heaven which told me to keep secret all that the seven peals of thunder had said, and not write it down.

5 Buna mbasi yoyi ndimona yitelama va mbu ayi va ntoto, yivumuna koko kuandi ku lubakala ku yilu

Then the angel that I saw standing on the sea and on the land, lifted his right hand toward Heaven.

6 ayi yileva ndefi, mu mutu wowo widi moyo mu zikhama-zikhama zi mimvu, mutu wowo wuvanga diyilu ayi bima bioso bidi muawu; wuvanga ntotoayi bima bioso bidi muawu, wuvanga mbu ayi bima bioso bidi muawu, ti: —Kusiedi diaka thangu ko. (aiōn g165)

And in the name of Him who lives until the Ages of the Ages, the Creator of Heaven and all that is in it, of the earth and all that is in it, and of the sea and all that is in it, he solemnly declared, (aiōn g165)

7 Mu lumbu kiela wakana mbembo yi mbasi yi tsambuadi; bu kela kubama mu sika tulumbeta, buna yawu yina thangu yela sundukila mansueki ma Nzambi banga bu kasamunina kuidi mimbikudi, bisadi biandi.

"There shall be no further delay; but in the days when the seventh angel blows his trumpet--when he begins to do so--then the secret purposes of God are realized, in accordance with the good news which He gave to His servants the Prophets."

8 Buna mbembo yoyi ndiwa, yoyi yiba ku diyilu, yibuela kukhamba ti: —Yenda bongi buku yoyi yi fioti; yidi yizibuka va koko ku mbasi yoyi yitelimini va mbu ayi va ntoto.

Then the voice which I had heard speaking from Heaven once more addressed me. It said, "Go and take the little book which lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."

9 Buna ndiyenda kuna kuba mbasi; ndinkamba kaphana buku beni yi fioti. Buna niandi wukhamba: —Bonga yawu ayi dia yawu. Yawu yela ba ndudi dio sokolo mu vumu kiakuvayi, mu munuꞌaku, yela ba lueki banga niosi.

So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. "Take it," he said, "and eat the whole of it. You will find it bitter when you have eaten it, although in your mouth it will taste as sweet as honey."

10 Buna ndibonga buku yi fioti mu koko ku mbasi ayi ndiyidia. Mu munuꞌama yiba lueki banga niosi vayi bu ndimanisa ku yidia, ndudi dio sokolo yifuluka mu vumu kiama.

So I took the roll out of the angel's hand and ate the whole of it; and in my mouth it was as sweet as honey, but when I had eaten it I found it very bitter.

11 Buna bakhamba: —Fueti buela bikula diaka kuidi batu, kuidi makanda; kuidizimbembo ayi kuidi mintinu miwombo.

And a voice said to me, "You must prophesy yet further concerning peoples, nations, languages, and many kings."
